perf probe: Check the orphaned -x option
To avoid probing in unintended binary, the orphaned -x option must be
checked and warned.
Without this patch, following command sets up the probe in the kernel.
-----
# perf probe -a strcpy -x ./perf
Added new event:
probe:strcpy (on strcpy)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:strcpy -aR sleep 1
-----
But in this case, it seems that the user may want to probe in the perf
binary. With this patch, perf-probe correctly handles the orphaned -x.
-----
# perf probe -a strcpy -x ./perf
Error: -x/-m must follow the probe definitions.
